That bit of news seemed to cheer everyone of the 31, including even the Mexicans, Argentines, and other Latins who do not cherish their kindly old Undo Sam as perhaps they should. CAMPAIGN: Tidbits There was a good deal of comment around New York, coming from (perhaps) catty Republican circles. It amounted to this. It hinted that the state departments fussing with Japan was intended to panic the American voters around election time. These same Republicans, and others, had been predicting an international crisis (of some sort or other) before the election, Just in time to tilt the balance. They had said as much, months back. They reminded tha American public that both tho British and the Nasii had experienced such artful dodges, in tha celebrated cases of the forged Zinoviev Letter (British) and the fake Reichstag firs (German).

Besides, they have absolutely ignored rural electrification. Franklin D. Roosevelt has done more for the power consumers of America than all the other Presidents combined up to this time. When we came into power, only about 10 per cent of the farm homes of Americahad electricity; they were around the big cities. We were lagging behind every other nation on earth. England, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and Denmark before the war, all had 90 percent of their farms electrified. Holland and Switzerland had approximately 100 percent of their farms electrified while we had only 10 percent. Someone said the other day in answer to that statement, that those were thickly settled countries. That is no answer; New Zealand, a new and sparsely settled country where the farms are few and far between, had 65 per cent of her farms electrified 4 years ago. Now, since we have gone into this struggle, we have electrified 20 percent more, something like 2.000,000 farm homes. -- If these things lake place, end wealth continues to increase, then the uhiler doss toee' who will "be unable to make a decent living, who will at that time be in the majority will say: You have taken all the , ao we will play with something else in their place, or play another game.

GueatEditorial A system of managed economy has succeeded in financing were in nations previously in a state of bankruptcy, because they made commodities their media of exchange in the place of money. That was their solution to the money question. When they had no money they used commodities, which they could produce, in exchange for the things they needed. Now that these nations are in control, directly or inderictly, of three fourth of the nations of the world, commodities are gradually supplanting money as the exchange media in world commerce. If this tendency continues, and nothing can stop it so long as thoe nations maintain their positions of dominance, money will ere long cease to be a factor in international trade. No longer holding the position of importance in the trade between nations, how long can money continue asa factor in the trade within a nation? Thus it strongly appears that money ie destined to loose its value in terms of trade. What value will this give to our billions of buried gold? In the event of its value vanishing, will it be used to pave the streets in fulfillment of Biblical prophe-- 1 cies? But a system of commodity exchange is far from being ideal. So if world events are forcing a change in our monetary eyetem, why not make the change complete by doing away with a media of exchange and adopt a new system a social economy? Because such a system has never been used, docs not say that it could not be a success. All things must have n a beginning, a first time to be used. Soeial economy is a obtain each can which person of service, a eyetem through lifes necessities and comforts without first converting his efforts into money or commodities. Then man and his services will be the things of importance in the world not money. Carl M. Munson, on Right Richard F.
